good morning, america. i'm george stephanopoulos and it is friday, january 29th. >> happy friday, everyone. i'm robin roberts. this morning, a nation on ice. 17 states under a winter storm watch or warning as a coating of ice shuts down airports, makes a slippery mess over a 2,000-mile. and the white house blinks, starting to think outside of the 911 mastermind. the coveup, john edwards' voice mail and how he planned to hide his mistress' pregnancy from his wife. >> so if i'm calling saying what happened, how did this lap, what's going on? brand-new details from bob woodru woodruff's exclusive report.

and trash talk. challenging the president to a little two on two. scott brown's hoop dreams. >> really? really? >> all right. you heard it. downtown scotty brown. >> he's not stopping it stopping the health care plan. >> no. that was his nickname in college. his daughter plays college ball at bc. we'll see. a lot of news to get to folks, including the big test for president obama's renewed call for bipartisanship. he's meeting with house republicans so we're wondering what kind of resettle we'll see. >> a lot of big questions. also breaking news overnight, house republicans are trying to stop any kind of a trial in federal court for cal lead sheikh muhammad. >> we also have news for toyota owrs. the car company said it has

found the fix for 2 million recalled vehicles. will it stop the runaway cars and put customer' fears at risk. and the deep freeze across the country. satellite image shows a band of terrible temperatures stretching from oklahoma all the way to the carolinas. ryan owens has more from oklahoma city. how's it going there, ryan? >> reporter: well, good morning to you, robin. schools here are closed for a second day in a row and so are businesses. let me tell you, it is not hard to see why. this umbrella is not going anywhere anytime soon. at least an inch of ice on the ground and the ice is coveri absolutely everything. across the southern plains, police are begging drivers to stay off the icy roads this morning. to avoid more scenes like this. 17 states are now under winter storm warnings or watches. here in oklahoma, up to an inch and a half of ice coating roads,

stranding motorists, canceling flights and most worrisome of all, weighing down power lines. leaving more than 132,000 customers in the dark, through a frigid night. >> i was stuck in the house for about three days, you know, with no electricity or anythi like that. >> reporter: the same storm that left oklahoma understand a state of emergency hit texas hard. interstate 40 is closed across the panhandle. amarillo had more than a foot of snow. farther south in abilene, drivers had to abandon their cars after 2 1/2 inches of rain swamped the roads. by this weekend, the one storm system will affect almost 2,000 miles of the country. from new mexico to the carolinas. even to the deep south with ice predicted in georgia, alabama and mississippi. so now the storm is targeting parts of the midwest, all the way over into virginia. but this storm believe it or not

is not quite done with oklahoma yet. we're expecting a couple inches of snow later today and that's actually a good thing, george, because we all know it's a whole lot easier to drive on snow than it is a layer of ice. >> that is for sure. thanks, ryan. we'll turn now to what will be the trial of the century. the upcoming trial of the mastermind of 911. the white house wants sheikh muhammad tried in new york. but the allies are saying no way. it's time to look for alternate locations. pierre thomas has more. hi, george. the administration had put a lot of weight behind the symbolism of the trial. it's expected to take place less than one mile from the world trade center but now we're learning those plans could be in serious jeopardy. the reason, political reality. there's a chorus of powerful voices coming out of new york saying not so fast.

and particular concerns raised this week by the mayor appeared to catch some of the administration by surprise. >> there are places that would be less expensive for the taxpayers and less disruptive to new york city. for example, military bases away from central cities where it's easier to provide security at much less cost. >> every time there's a loud noise during the two years of that trial it's going to frighten people. i think new yorkers have been through enough. >> this afternoon, i called the white house and i told them that i thought it would be a very good idea that they look for alternate sites. >> no final decision has been made. but the bottom line there may not be funds needed to pay for the security needed. key members of congress including some democrats are concerned as well. >> pierres, thanks very much. and other political news, president obama trying to make good on the state of the union

address on bipartisanship. will it work? when will he hear back? jon karl has more from capitol hill. jon? >> reporter: well, george, the president is facing a practically skeptical audience that is hostile for almost all of his policies. president obama's latest message -- join us. >> i want them working with us. not to score points i want a partership. >> reporter: republica say that's fine, but -- >> we're not going to vote for things we believe will hurt our country. >> reporter: most republicans in congress doubt the president really wants to hear their ideas. >> do you think he's serious or as hillary clinton used to say, just words? >> that's the true test. we heard the words, a little lecture as well. now we'll see if reaction can kick in with those words. >> reporter: on health care senator lindsey graham told us the only way the president will

get republican support is if he ditches the bill and starts over. >> nobody on our side is going toigure out a way to help him pass the bill. >> reporter: and tax credits on small businesses that hire new businesses but overall, he doesn't see much hope for bipartisanship. >> i don't want to be too tough on president obama. i like the man. do i agree with him? hell no. >> reporter: longtime republican frank wolf said he's written the president ideas with ideas on it? >> so you presented the ideas and what happens? >> it's like writing a letter to somebody and nobody ever answers. >> the white house said the president will use the speech some baltimore to build on the issue on bipartisanship that he used in the state of the union address. we're told he will get responses in the coming days. >> we're going to talk to the

man wanting that retreat, the claire of the house republican conference mike pence. breaking news overnight, that the white house is looking into alternate locations for khalid shaikh mohammed trial. will house republicans block it in federal court and do you have the votes? >> let me say, george, republicans made a move last year to block funding. democrats prevented us from doing that. look, this is a terrible idea because we return the mastermind of 9/11 to the scene. it compromises the security of that city by making it a terrorist target. republicans have been uniformly, universal opposed to it.

we fought it on the floor. unless the administration comes to its senses and abandons this absurd idea, republicans and i expect some democrats, will block us in any funding to try khalid shaikh mohammed in new york city. >> let's talk about jobs. in the center is the $5,000 tax credit. that's the kind of tax credit that republicans have supported in the past. will you support it now? >> look, republicans were invited to our retreat. with lowering the cost of health insurance, to achieve energy independence and to put our fiscal house in order. we're going to hear from the president to george for a few minutes, but he's going to hear for quite a while from republicans about our alternatives.

>> well, will you meet him halfway? president the has come out for the tax credit. nuclear power, offshore drilling, spending fees. these are all ideas that republicans have supported in the past. will you support them now? >> well, republicans are going to continue to stand on the principles that we were elected to advance. we're going to articulate those to the president today. we're going to remind him that despite the party of no near of the last year, that we've offered substantive alternatives on every single major issue facing the economy, facing the country. but on that specific tax issue, george, it seems to me the administration and the state of the union last year on the economy are playing a lot of small ball here. they want targeted spending to get the economy moving. they want targeted tax cuts. the real way to get the economy moving is across-the-board tax relief for working families, small businesses, family farms,

plus real fiscal discipline now in washington, d.c. that's what's going to get the economy moving again and that is what the red will hear today. >> okay, congressman. thanks for talking with us this morning. >> thank you. >> also, barbara walter is going to be anchoring "this week" this sunday morning. check out "the roundtable," george will, and how about this, the liberal blogger, arianna huffington up against fox news roger els. must-see tv. >> that is. this morning, toyota says it has a fix for the pedal problems that brian ross is here. you've got the latest? >> indeed. toyota says the fix for this involves a redesigned gas pedal that won't stick. it's already being shipped to factories. but even the company's own supplier says toyota is far from

done in solving the larger problem of runaway cars. >> reporter: the indiana-based supplier for the gas pedal, cts, says it began shipping the redesigned part from its plant in canada this week. >> they have designed a new pedal, and that pedal is now being shipped to them. they're fixing that problem. >> reporter: but the supplier says that won't really fix the problem entirely. that toyota told them that none of the serious accidents or deaths linked to runaway cars were caused by sticking gas pedal. >> they acknowledge, tight, that did not cause any deaths or injuries related to the condition of the pedal. >> reporter: which means, the mystery remains. like this prius belonging to this doctor from philadelphia. >> the first timit was like driving on ice and you can't stop. >> reporter: the doctor's prius now parked on the lot is not on the recall list for sticking gas pedal, and he said there was no problem with the floor mat.

>> when i got within a few feet, i swerved into oncoming traffic. >> reporter: the doctor said he barely missed crashing and refuses to drive the car. >> incorporate 00 the bulk of the problems that we're seeing have nothing to do with some kind of accelerated pedals or the floor mats. it has to do with some other components most likely in the electronics. >> reporter: it was all lamented last year by the company's president. >> translator: we may have stretched more than we should have and that allowed us to capital on strengths. >> the question is whether the federal government should have done more and sooner. >> once again, brian, you're saying the supplier contacted toyota and they said -- >> it was not responsible for the dents. 20 deaths. >> we reached out to both toyota

and the department of transportation to come on our program, both declined. but we have the owner of one of the largest toyota dealerships in the nation. he's ernie bach jr. in norwin, massachusetts. thanks for joining us. >> no problem. >> you've been selling toyotas for almost 30 years now. and you're the second largest toyota dealer in the country. what is toyota telling you, ernie? >> well, the recall notices will go out and toyota will make it right. they're a fantastic company, they'll always do right by the customer and the customers are understanding it. >> well, i've got to dispute that just a little bit in getting it right. it's been some time now, ernie. they've known about this problem for a while. so i think you can understand why more than a few people are little disgruntled right now and not understanding why it's taking so long. when were you first made aware

of the problem? >> the first problem that we were aware of was the floor mat recall, and we handled that. then when they did the stock sale which is a bold move from toyota to do a stock sale, that afternoon they told us that. >> and what are you telling your customers, are they coming in? >> sure. they're coming in. they're concerned. toyota's concerned. the recall notices will go out and they'll make it right for the customer. >> well, what are you doing for your customers when they come in with a car that's been recalled? >> well, we explained it, the only reason they would come in is if they have symptoms. if they had the sticky pedal symptoms. if they don't have the symptoms, then they can continue driving the car and wait for the notice and they can bring it in and we'll take care of it. >> do you have a loan out to people who come in and don't want to drive their cars? >> well, yeah, if they have

symptoms and don't want to drive the car, toyota has been very good about providing loaner cars. >> of all of those cars behind you, how many of those cars are affected in the inventory? how many cars are you able to sell now? >> over 60% of my inventory, i cannot sell. >> 60%? how do you stay in business? >> well, i sell the other 40%, and hopefully, people will understand. >> so let me ask you this, ernie, somebody waking up this morning, they have one of those toyotas in their driveway. >> yes. >> what do you say to them, ernie? >> well, don't panic. if the car has symptoms, bring it in. i'll do the math. other than that, wait for the recall notice. >> ernie boch jr., thanks for joining us. >> juju has the rest of the morning's news. good morning, everyone. we begin with the economy and new indications the recovery is

looking for bacteria. if they find salmonella, this recall could expand to other products but one source tells abc news, the pepper importer did sell to others. federal investigators have not responded to abc's question about a possible recall. for "good morning america," david kerley, abc news, washington. and final, bill and belinda gait gates ted they are funding a vaccine. it could save the lives of 8 million children officer the next decade. billion. did i say million? >> no, you didn't. $10 billion. >> $10 billion. it's a lot of money and it's for a great cause. it's for a great cause. now time for the weather. heidi, heidi jones is in for sam. a staggering number.

look at this "new yorker" cover from earlier in the week. it shows president obama last year kind of walking on water. and then goes kerplunk and splashes into the ocean. the president loved it so much he was actually putting it in his office. the president had to restep at the state of the union, did he do it? >> i think he did a good job. i exacerbate, and one is he talks too much. it was a long speech. he also covered about 50 different subjects and it seems to me the country is not going to listen to all of it. they'll forget a lot of it. but what they want to concentrate on is the economy and jobs. >> and he did want that, that was his number one priority. >> he did focus on jobs. that was one of the few things

he did right by the end of the speech. by the end of it, it was convoluted with the white noise and everything else. we all know he's a great orator. but you get a sense that he just is reluctant to drill down into the substance of the issues. even bringing up health care, it was a great opportunity for him to really discuss initiatives in specificity and he failed to do so. again it doesn't give us a clear path on how he wants to accomplish his goes. >> part of the reason for that is trying to figure out how he's going to get it through congress. >> and the republicans were stone-faced through all of ts. you couldn't get the sense of any responsiveness on their part at all. >> he was very critical. and yet, i think he should take a second step back and realize he has to get his own house in order. >> you mention the brain. after the speech, john mccain was going b-i-o-b -- blame it on

plush. >> look at the supreme court. a little bit unexpected. >> you're a fabulous businesswoman. and i want to talk about two groups. toyota, jay leno, their brand is pretty damaged right now. i don't know if you got a chance to see jay leno on "oprah" who asked pointed questions. let's play a little bit. >> is it going to be humbling to go back or -- >> yeah, i think we got our work cut out for us. i think we've got a lot of work to do. i think there's a lot of damage control that has to be done. you know, the only way wcan fix these things is to try and do good shows. not be bitter. not be angry or upset. >> that's a much different tone. because you know how they were all being very playful and taking jabs at nbc. now realizing, okay, you're going back.

letterman is number one. "nightline" is number one. you have to really rehab yourself, your brand. >> well, letterman must be laughing about the farce that has ensued from all of this. but i think it boils down to the ratings were not good. fundament fundamentally, that's what's to blame for this. maybe it was mishandled, but it all boils down to rating. mort would understand this. >> what hurt jay leno it kind of hurt his nice guy brand? >> absolutely. there's no question. you know, he did not want to leave the show. and he did leave it with an arrangement that was made five years earlier in order to keep conan on the network. and it's try that there were the ratings. not just the ratings of that show, frankly, leading into the 11:00 news for the subsidiaries for the network because jay was not doing well on that time

slot. >> how about toyota, this is pretty much a shocker, to see toyota, their whole reputation for whole taking such aassive hit this week. how do they turn around? >> i think the thing i was most surprised about in reading the quotes for toyota, in that they almost insinuated for ages quality has been a problem. and they haven't really drilled down or addressed it because they were so busy in seeking global expansion. in reading this, you say, wait, aren't you a brand known for quality? how do you admit this was a systematic problem for a decade? i was surprised by their response to a pretty terrible situation. >> and the engineer recently committed suicide in honor of the company -- i'm just kidding -- they asked him to do this. it's staggering when i think of it. it's so basic to everything

they're doing. you ask yourself what kind of systems do they have in place to make sure this doesn't happen. it's extraordinary. >> is this customary for the auto industry? >> to an extent. i think the japanese cars have a reputation and a quality and price point that will work for them. i think it's an opening for the american automobile industry. the real question is will they respond? >> and you have seen them steps up and offering rebates. >> and it's about to start flooding it. >> 8 million cars are defective. >> and john edwards, i don't know if anyone wants to look down and not address that. this is a gentleman who was running for president of the united states. >> he's the poster boy to for sort of good, clean cut, all-american. it's just terrible. i mean, i think what he's done. how he's disgraced his family. how he's lied without any -- the fact that he admitted the affair

and still denied the child, i don't get it. if you're finally going to come out and say, okay, i've lied to you once, but, i didn't have the child. i don't understand that disconnect. it's like very reluctantly it gets brought to the edge and then admits. >> well, i'll tell you, a plague on all of their houses. i think he and frankly his wife and chief of staff all handled themselves disgracefully. who wants them in the public eye. it made everybody feel kind of dirty to be honest with you. >> what do you think of these hot topics? weigh in on our shoutout board at abcnews.com. and when we come back, is 30 too late to have a baby? i just can't wait to see all those crunchy lakes in action., i hope i get a chance to put two scoops!™ of raisins in some oxes. you know what will really ge us in the spirit? ♪ 99 boxes of raisin bran crunch ♪

my billion clock is ticking like this, and the way this case is going i ain't ever getting married! >> oh, the oscar winner, the reason i'm playing that from "my cousin vinny" are you waiting too long to have a child? a new study finds by the time a woman is 30, nearly 90% of the eggs are gone. what does it mean for every family who wants to start a family. dr. marie savard joins to us explain. give us a headline, marie. >> the headline, i hate to say, if someone is planning a family, the sooner the better. they took over 300 women, looked at their eggs across a lifespan, different women. and found that by age 30 women lose all but 12% of their eggs.

and by age 40, they have only 3% remaining. i think we're finding that women lose eggs a lot faster than we thought. >> we have seen women well into their 30s having children. it's been more commonplace, but it's shocking to hear this new data. >> but it is much more difficult. even the reproducive techniques are challenging and less successful. but i think women do have to hear that that does happen. that biological clock does tick and there are things you might be able to control a bit. >> tell us about that. are there ways to slow down the process a little bit? >> age by far is the greatest factor. and the number of eggs that you have to begin with which you have to thank your mother for. you're born with all the eggs you're going to have. there are things that affect new your environment that cause you to lose eggs. the first is smoking. if you smoke, stop smoking. the second is being overweight

or obese. it turns out losing weight will help your fertility. that's obviously really important as well. and then we know there's a number of chronic conditions that kick in that matter. things such as autoimmune disease. whether you've had chemotherapy or radiation, things that you can't control. that's why these studies are important to help women make a decision what to do in case they face those challenges. >> i've heard conflicting data about this, if you're on the pill, that jeopardizes your eggs. is there truth to that? >> so many women ask me that question, as it turns out the researchers have found even if you're on the pill for a long period of time20 years, perhaps, that doesn't speed up the loss of your eggs. furthermore, if your cycle or long or irregular, that doesn't predict so well either. >> so if you're a woman getting up this morning, brushing your teeth and you're hearing this, what do you do? >> i think what you do, you just understand that time does

matter. and that there are things that you might want to talk to your doctor about. first of all, if you're planning a family don't wait so long. there are times when i think sometimes women do. don't think that reproductive technology is everything because it's certainly more difficult as you get older. have a conversation with your doctor. we're learning more and more about testing your ovaries with blood tests learning whether or not you might be able to wait longer than someone else. it's life, it's the truth, we have all the eggs we're able to have. >> so you're able to check your egg count? >> you can't specifically. what we know you can do is an ultrasound. look at the volume of your ovary. and then there's some blood testing that's being done. i think in the future, doctors will have with all of this information a little bit more of a prescription to help you make the best decision what to do. >> all right, marie. thank you. have a great weekend. appreciate it. you can find all of marie's
